COLLEGE STATION,
Texas - After taking three very different paths to Aggieland, a trio of
senior student-athletes will be honored Wednesday night when the Texas A&M
men's basketball team takes the court at Reed Arena for the final time this season,
facing LSU at 7 p.m.

Wednesday's game will be televised by the SEC Network, and a
complete list of network affiliates for this weekend can be found HERE. Locally
in Bryan/College Station, the game can be found on cable at CW8 Aggieland.

On the television call will be Clay Matvick and Joe Dean,
Jr. Meanwhile, Aggie fans can hear all the action on the Texas A&M Radio
Network by tuning in locally on WTAW (1620 AM) or streaming online at
AggieAthletics.com.

Texas A&M students with a valid student ID will be admitted
to Wednesday's game for free and the first 300 students will receive free
pepperoni rolls courtesy of Double Dave's. Students will also receive a chance
to register for a variety of prizes at the contest, including VISA gift cards.

As part of Aggie basketball's Senior Day, Jarod Jahns,
Elston Turner and Ray Turner will all be recognized prior to playing in their
final home game wearing the Maroon & White.

Jahns took one of the most unconventional roads to a spot on
the Aggie roster after watching games from the student section during his first
two years on campus. After appearing at a walk-on tryout during the fall of
2010 Jahns found a place on the team and this season has emerged as a contributor.
He is averaging almost 20 minutes a game during SEC play, including a career
best 42 minutes during the four-overtime thriller against Tennessee.

Ray Turner is the lone four-year letterwinner in the group
and has been a mainstay on the A&M roster since making his Aggie debut in
2008. In addition to thrilling A&M fans with his thunderous dunks on the
court, Ray has performed in the classroom as well, earning Second Team Academic
All-Big 12 honors last season. Most recently, Ray became just the 23rd
member of A&M's prestigious 500-rebound club.

Since transferring from the University of Washington, Elston
Turner has developed into one of the country's most explosive scorers each of
the last two seasons. This year he became one of just three players all-time to
score 40 points against Kentucky at Rupp Arena before setting the Reed Arena
scoring record, not once but twice. Among the many accolades he has earned have
been honorable mention All-Big 12 as a junior and National Player of the Week
this season.

Additionally, Elston enters Wednesday's contest with LSU
needing just 37 points to become the 33rd Aggie to reach the elite
1,000-point plateau.

LSU, meanwhile, comes to College Station with a 17-10
overall record and an even 8-8 mark in SEC play. The Tigers feature a balanced
scoring attack that is powered by five players who average double-digit points
this season. Sophomore forward Johnny O'Bryant III leads the way by averaging
almost a double-double per game with 13.8 point and 8.6 rebounds per game.

First-year LSU head coach Johnny Jones, who served as the
head coach at North Texas from 2001-12, owns a 222-172 in 13 seasons as a head
coach.

Earlier this season on Jan. 23, the Tigers earned a 58-54
victory over the Aggies in Baton Rouge. Junior guard Fabyon Harris led the way
with 19 points for A&M.

TEXAS A&M-LSU SERIES
NOTES

LSU owns a 14-11 edge in the all-time series between the
schools.

Wednesday's contest will be the 26th meeting between the
Aggies and the Tigers on the hardwood and the second as members of the SEC.

The series dates back to the 1916-17 season during the
early days of each school's men's basketball program ... LSU earned a 24-15
victory.

Before this season, the last meeting between the schools
came on Dec. 20, 2008, when the Aggies defeated LSU 72-61 at Houston's Toyota
Center.

A&M head coach Billy Kennedy is 0-3 against LSU,
having faced them once while at Centenary and once as the head coach at
Southeastern Louisiana before coming to Texas A&M.

The series has been dominated by the home team with the
Aggies holding a 5-0 record in College Station and the Tigers owning an 8-0
mark in Baton Rouge.

QUICK HITS

Prior to the game Texas A&M basketball will honor its
three senior players - Jarod Jahns, Elston Turner and Ray Turner. In addition
to these student-athletes, A&M basketball will also honor its unheralded
members by recognizing managers Cody Daniels, Morgan Jones, Hunter Lloyd and
Will Tucker.

Aggie senior Elston Turner has ranked among the best
scorers in the country all season long, but in the last six games he has taken
his game to another level ... The A&M sharpshooter is averaging 27.2 points
per game during the stretch while shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 44.4
percent from beyond the 3-point arc.

Turner also is closing in on a milestone as he stands just
37 points away from becoming the 33rd Aggie to reach the 1,000-point plateau
while donning the Maroon & White.

Rookie Alex Caruso has been turning heads at both ends of
the court this season while leading the team in both assists and steals ...
Recently during the South Carolina contest, the College Station native took
sole possession of the Texas A&M freshman steals record, a mark previously
held former A&M guard Todd Holloway (1984-87).

UP NEXT AFTER THE LSU
GAME

Following the LSU contest, the Aggies will travel to
Fayetteville on Saturday to conclude the regular season when they face Arkansas
inside Bud Walton Arena ... The game will be televised nationally by ESPNU.

ELSTON CLOSING IN
ON 1,000 CAREER POINTS AT TEXAS A&M

Senior guard Elston Turner has stood out as one of the
nation's most explosive scorers during each of his two seasons at Texas A&M
and his proficiency on the offensive end has him closing in on another
milestone - A&M's 1,000 point club.

The Sacramento, Calif., native transferred to A&M after spending his first two
seasons at the University of Washington and although he has compiled well over
a 1,000 points between the two schools, Turner is about to join the exclusive
club for his exploits wearing the Maroon & White.

Turner enters the LSU game with 963 points during his two
seasons at Texas A&M, needing just 37 points to become the 33rd Aggie to
achieve the 1,000-point milestone.

CARUSO NABS
A&M FRESHMAN STEALS RECORD

Rookie guard Alex Caruso has been impressive during his
first season in Aggieland and while piling up solid numbers on both ends of the
court, the College Station native snagged the Texas A&M school record for
steals by a freshman.

Former A&M guard Todd Holloway (1984-87) set the
previous high-water mark for steals by an Aggie frosh when he notched 56 for
head coach Shelby Metcalf during the 1983-84 campaign. Caruso, who has recorded
five games of at least four steals this season, overtook Holloway's mark with
two steals against South Carolina on March 2.

RAY JOINS 500-REBOUND
CLUB

With a seven-rebound performance on Feb. 27 at Ole Miss,
senior forward Ray Turner joined a prestigious group in Aggie basketball
history - the 500 Rebound Club.

The four-year letterwinner, who has seen his rebounding
totals improve each season in Aggieland, became just the 23rd player to
accumulate more than 500 rebounds during his playing days at A&M.

Turner enters the LSU game with 510 career rebounds and
trails Wayne Lawrence (1958-60) and Mike Clifford (1984-87) by just one boards
for 20th place all-time.

JAHN'S JOURNEY
FROM SEPCATATOR TO CONTRIBUTOR

After watching games in the student section and finding
competition at the rec during his first two years at Texas A&M, Jarod Jahns
was just looking for a shot in the fall of 2010 when he heard about walk-on
try-outs for the Aggie Basketball team. Two years later, the Spring, Texas,
native's hard work has paid off as he's playing major minutes on the court for
the Aggies during their first season in the SEC.

After playing a total of only 13 minutes in 12 games his
first two seasons with the team, Jahns began to earn the trust of head coach
Billy Kennedy and his staff and got his chance to show what he could do on the
court during the Aggies' appearance in the CBE Fall of Fame Classic at Kansas
City's Sprint Center.

During the opener of the event on Nov. 19, Jahns scored a
career-best six points against Saint Louis before setting a new personal best
with 21 minutes of action and four rebounds the next day in A&M's
come-from-behind win over Washington State.

Jahns played a big part in the Aggies' win over Kentucky at
Rupp Arena on Jan. 12 by grabbing four offensive rebounds in a then career-high
30 minutes and most recently he made his first career start at Alabama on Jan.
19.

"I never would have thought that would happen,"
Jahns said following the UK victory. "Ray (Turner) got in foul trouble and
you have to answer the call at that point. We don't have a deep forward lineup
so Coach told me to go in and I knew that it was going to have to be for the
rest of the game. I was just going to have to answer the call. It was fun, for
sure. I went up against the biggest and the best and I didn't even have offers
to play in college so it was a dream that has come true."

Most recently Jahns set a personal best by playing 42 minutes
during the four-overtime thriller against Tennessee on Feb. 23.
